Saw Tooth Screw

ABSTRACT

The present invention in particular to provide screw thread divided into the first and second thread section. A plurality of slots disposed on each of first thread section, which divided into a plurality of thread segments, wherein each of the thread segment have a first inclined surface and second inclined surface on two ends thereof; the first inclined surface paralleling and incline to the second inclined surface. Accompanying with the thread peak of second thread section formed as sawtooth-shaped; therefore, during the operation, utilize the second inclined surface guiding, the first inclined surface to sharp cutting and remove off the cutting debris, hence to attain the lower screwing resistance, enhance the screwing speed and the tightness effects.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a screw, in particular to a screw with the effect of screwing fast and the lower screw torque required.

2. Description of the Related Art

Referring to FIG. 1 and 2, a conventional screw 1 comprises a head 11, a shank 12 extending therefrom and a plurality of threads 13 spiral connected to the shank 12 along with the shank axial line “α”; wherein the thread 13 is consisted of an upper flank 131 and an opposite bottom flank 132. A plurality of slots 133 is formed on the thread 13 which divided the thread 13 into thread segments 134 with the first end surface 135 and the second end surface 136. Said the first end surface 135 and second end surface 136 are paralleling to the shank axial line “α”. While in screwing the screw 1, the first end surface 135 cut the object 10 to bring in the screw 1. The first end surface 135 is disabled from cutting the fibers of object 10 efficiently along with rotation of the screw 1 which results of fibers entwined on the shank 12 to decrease the screwing speed.

Referring to FIG. 3, another conventional screw 2 comprises a head 21, a shank 22 extending therefrom and a plurality of threads 23 spiral connected to the shank 22 along with the shank axial line “α”; wherein a plurality of slots 231 is widely opened and formed on the threads 23 to define a first end surface 232, a second end surface 233 and a third end surface 234. As shown in FIG. 4, during the operation, said slots 231 have large space to receive a great amount of fibers from the cutting object 20 so as to enhance the tightness of screw 2. However, the construction of the slots 231 caused the first end surface 232 to sharp cutting and knocked against the object 20. Further, for the said first end surface 232 can not cut up the fiber of the object 20 directly, hence the wood fiber are easily to entwine around said shank 12 to cause increasing at screwing friction, and furthermore to affect the screwing speed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Therefore, the present invention is to provide a screw with the effect of screwing fast, lower torsion required and guiding the cutting debris out of drilling hole.

The present invention relates to a screw that comprises a head, a plurality of threads spiral connected to the shank along with the shank axial line “α”. Wherein, said threads divided into the first and second thread section. Further, each of the first thread section having a plurality of slots defined thereon, so as to divide the thread section into thread segments, beside, each of thread segment have a first inclined surface and second inclined surface on two ends thereof, the first inclined surface parallel and inclined to the second inclined surface. Moreover, by means of the thread peak at the second thread section is formed of a saw tooth-shaped, the cutting debris of object can be skillfully and rapidly guide out through the slots, hence to lower the screwing torsion and enhance the screwing speed during the rotation.

The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIG. 5, the screw 3 of the present invention comprises a head 31, a shank 32 extending therefrom, and a plurality of thread 33 spiral connected to the shank 32 along with the shank axial line “α”. Further, said threads 33 comprised the first thread section 330 near to said head 31, and the second thread section 331 is adjacent to the first thread section 330 near to the distal end of the shank 32. The said first thread section 330 consisted of an upper flank 332 and an opposite bottom flank 333. Besides, said upper flank 332 and the opposite bottom flank 333 are adjacent to formed a thread peak 334 thereon. Still further, said first thread section 330 have a plurality of slots 335 formed thereon by enclosing an helix angle “θ” to the shank axial line “α”, so as to divide the first thread section 330 into pluralities of thread segment 336. Each of the thread segment 336 having a first inclined surface 337 and second inclined surface 338 defined on two ends of said each thread section 336. The first inclined surface 337 are formed inclined to dispose above the bottom flank 333, and the second inclined surface 337 disposed under the upper flank 332. In addition, thereon each of second thread section 331 formed with pluralities of recesses 339 defined on the upper flank 332 and the bottom flank 333. Besides, the recesses 339 of the upper flank 332 extending to the opposite bottom flank 333, and the recesses 339 of the bottom flank 333 extending to the opposite upper flank 332, beside, the said recesses 339 are successively connected with each other to formed the thread peak 334 in saw tooth-shaped.

Still further, the said recesses 339 can formed as shown in FIG. 6, that is, thereon each of second thread section 331 of the upper flank 332 and the bottom flank 333 forms pluralities of recesses 339 paralleling to each other, wherein the said recesses 339 extending to the thread peak 334. Although the aforesaid structures are differ to the first embodiment, but the operation and effects are the same; therefore, the following descriptions are accompanying with the first embodiment.

Referring to FIGS. 5 and 7, while screwing the screw 3, with the said thread 33 drilling into the object 4 gradually, the said thread peak 334 deform as saw tooth-shaped thereon the said second thread section 331 can firstly to cutting the fiber of the object 4 which entwined around the said shank 32, so as to reduce the screwing resistance.

Continuing of screwing to the said first section 330, each said thread segment 336 of the second inclined surface 338 can facilitate to guide out the fiber of object 4, and benefit to the adjacent thread segment 336 of the first inclined surface 337 to sharp cutting the entwined fiber gradually, so as to reduce the screwing torque substantially. However, the rest of cutting fiber which produced during operation can be guide out by the first and second inclined surface 337,338, and finally remove from the recess 339. Still, after screwing the screw, use the thread peak 334 of the second thread section 331, deform as saw tooth-shaped to make the screw 3 can stable engaging in the object 4 and increase the tightness of screw.

To sum up, the present invention use the thread peak in the form of a saw tooth-shaped to sharp cutting the fiber of object, and accompany with each of the thread segment has first inclined surface and second inclined surface to efficiently cut up the entwined fiber, and lower the screwing resistance, enhance the screwing speed and the tightness.

While the above-mentioned of the present invention was clear to those skilled in the art and the further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
